Hey.
Just my +0.02 PLN but I think we should recommend, early on, where gettext translations should be stored. I think it's essential to get i18n right early on and we have a simple opportunity to do so.

The problem is that there isn't a generic path where catalogs are installed through a .click package. Some of them have a share/locale folder, others have appname/locale... We'd need Click to recommend a path that QtMir could use to find the right catalogs.
Until that happens, the solution is to use the intltool-merge to build the translations into the .desktop file itself.
